The issues with this match seem to revolve around 1114's arm falling off as a result of 48's crazy defense. My instinct tells me that this was definetly excessive ramming, and that the refs that made the call started recounting every single time 1114 found a way to move a little bit (less than 3 seconds). By that logic it was ok, but it looks like 48 held contact continuously which i personally feel is grounds for excessive ramming. The penalty could of been much larger here.

The second part here, when 1114's arm was still hanging on to the tube on the rack, I'd rule as a scored ringer, because when parts (particularly those pesky flag holders) fall off robots and they get up ramps, the robot counts as being on the ramp despite the flag holder left on the carpet somewhere. I'd say 1114 didn't intentionally leave their arm on the rack so the tube should of counted.

But the ruling stands, 1732, 67, 48 win over 1114, 1523, 469, 30-10
